1909-10 Sedment (Faiyum)
The excavations were sponsored by the Graeco-Roman branch and thus were concerned with recovering papyri from the Graeco-Roman period rather than objects or material from different time periods.
The surrounding area was explored from November 14-18 but only Middle and New Kingdom graves were found which were not part of the purpose of the excavators. The excavators do note a burial which had two baskets and a faience plaque with the name Thutmose III. They also excavted to the north and uncovered another Middle Kingdom cemetery where they note finding wooden servant statues and tableaux.
